They look like toy boats, but they serve a serious purpose. An outsider at this facility near Grenoble, France, may see grown men riding arounda lake in miniature ships. But these are pilots of the world's largest ships, and they're practicing navigation with meticulously engineered 1:25 scale models of real cruisers, tankers, and containerships. Port Revel Shiphandling Training Centre, in operation since 1967, has had more than 6,000 maritime pilots and merchant ship officers from all over the world train on its 13-acre man-made lake. Wind-, wave-, and current-generating machines simulate real-world conditions, to help the pilots learn how to maneuver in shallow waters and deal with emergencies—in safe conditions. The school recently added its own built-to-scale course of the giant new locks that will open next year to allow the passage of large ships through the Panama Canal. The Panama CanalPilotsAssociation has made its own training lake but is sending senior pilots and simulator instructors to Port Revel to learn how to teach using manned models. Port Revel has built two large model ships and is sending them along with four radio-controlled tugboats to the Panama Canal training facility.

Maritime pilot

A pilot is a mariner who manoeuvres ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths, and completes the berthing / unberthing operation of the ships by controlling the ship's manoeuvrability directly and the tugs and shore linesmen through a radio. Pilots are expert shiphandlers who possess detailed knowledge of local waterways. They are transported by high speed pilot boats or helicopter from shore to an inbound ship and from an outbound ship back ashore. Most ports have compulsory pilotage.

Legally, the master has full responsibility for safe navigation of his vessel, even if a pilot is on board. If he has clear grounds that the pilot may jeopardise the safety of navigation, he can relieve him from his duties and ask for another pilot or, if not compulsory to have a pilot on board, navigate the vessel without one. Only in transit of the Panama Canal does the pilot have the full responsibility for the navigation of the vessel.

In English law, Section 742 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 defines a pilot as "any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof." In other words, someone other than a member of the crew who has control over the speed, direction, and movement of the ship. The current United Kingdom legislation governing pilotage is the Pilotage Act 1987.

Port Revel

The Port Revel Shiphandling Training Centre is a French maritime pilotage school that trains pilots, masters, and officers on large ships like supertankers, container ships, LNG carriers and cruise ships . The facility uses manned models at a 1:25 scale on a man-made lake designed to simulate natural conditions including harbours, canals, and open seas. It was the first such facility in the world. The Centre was created in 1967 near Grenoble, France, by Laboratoire Dauphinois d'Hydraulique (now Artelia).

The courses are given by former maritime pilots. Since 1967, the Centre has trained over 6 500 maritime pilots, captains and officers from all over the world. French, European, Australian, Brazilian and North American pilots make up 90% of the Centre's students.

In the second scene, we're underway in the Savannah River, as we bid farewell to the docking pilot. In the third scene, we give a Sécurité call to inform all concerned vessels and people that we are beginning our journey downriver. We also hear the pilot as he gets in touch with a pilot on an inbound ship, to figure out where we will meet him, so as to safely pass without incident. The Savannah River is fairly hard when it comes to meeting ships, as the shipping lane is rather narrow and there are a number of bends in the river. That, coupled with the fact that depth can be a concern outside of the deepest part of the channel; all of these factors, and more, must be taken into consideration. A lot of training is involved in knowing how to undertake such a meet. In the fourth scene, we see the vessel in question; CMA-CGM container ship PacificLink. She is a larger ship, at 1096 feet long and 141 feet wide, making her a Post-Panamax ship. Between Pacific Link and Argos, that makes up 249 feet of breadth. The location where we pass Pacific Link, Bight Channel, is only 500 feet wide, meaning there is approximately 80 feet between the two ships, and 80 feet on either side of each ship from the edge of the shipping channel, for a total of 240 feet, which leaves little room for error. Both pilots on the respective ships are knowledgeable and trustworthy, and do an excellent job in passing one another, making it look easy. The fifth scene is of us as we pass the Savannah Pilot base at Fort Pulaski, near Tybee Island. The boat churning up the water behind her is the pilot boat Georgia, which will pick us up and bring us to the next assignment, which is an incoming tanker ship. The sixth scene shows us leaving the Savannah River, passing the breakwater, and entering the TybeeRoad. The seventh scene has the pilot contacting the incoming tanker ship to arrange her in such a manner that boarding from the pilot boat will be easy, once we disembark from Argos. The final scene is of us disembarking from Argos and heading for the tanker ship. Enjoy the view in daylight as we transit the Savannah River and the Tybee Road, as well as the communications between the pilot and the crew. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome.

The third installment of footage on my visit with the SavannahPilots brings us on board the container ship Argos. It's day time, and we have great weather for today's run down the Savannah River. Argos is a fairly new ship, having been built in 2011 by Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Co. Ltd, China. She weighs in at approximately 50000 tons, is 860 feet in length, 108 feet in breadth, and can carry up to 4253 TEU. She has a B&W 8K90MC-C, which is rated at 49600 horsepower.

These Mini-Ships Teach Pilots How to Navigate Major Waterways | National Geographic

They look like toy boats, but they serve a serious purpose. An outsider at this facility near Grenoble, France, may see grown men riding arounda lake in miniature ships. But these are pilots of the world's largest ships, and they're practicing navigation with meticulously engineered 1:25 scale models of real cruisers, tankers, and containerships. Port Revel Shiphandling Training Centre, in operation since 1967, has had more than 6,000 maritime pilots and merchant ship officers from all over the world train on its 13-acre man-made lake. Wind-, wave-, and current-generating machines simulate real-world conditions, to help the pilots learn how to maneuver in shallow waters and deal with emergencies—in safe conditions. The school recently added its own built-to-scale course of the giant new locks that will open next year to allow the passage of large ships through the Panama Canal. The Panama CanalPilotsAssociation has made its own training lake but is sending senior pilots and simulator instructors to Port Revel to learn how to teach using manned models. Port Revel has built two large model ships and is sending them along with four radio-controlled tugboats to the Panama Canal training facility.

The cyclonic weather conditions which battered the Durban beachfront on Sunday, 12 March 2017 did not stop the Port of Durban’s marine pilot Rainer Rauntenberg from safely steering an automotive vessel into the port. Rauntenberg, who has been a marine pilot for more than 14 years, successfully steered the vessel under adverse weather conditions believed to be caused by a tropical cyclone Enawo - which struck Madagascar.
